How to do a couple simple commands with VB.net syntax that I can do with DOS or batch files.[code]...
Thats just a simple DOS or batch command to make a directory with the date, and to move all .png files into that folder.
I'm writing a program which has to perform several operations on data exported from a CAD software.The amount of data to be processed is huge and even by simplifying the program at maximum it will still take about 10-15 minutes for average models.
The operations are performed on an array from the first to the last element. Let's say for a list of 10 elements (as example) that I start from element 1 and I finish when element 10 has been computed. I thus thought that since I'm working on a 8 processor machine would be convenient to make use of multi-threading. My idea is, for the case of 10 elements, to make thread1 working from 1 to 5 and make thread2 working from 6 to 10.I already wrote a working code for a 2 thread process which is working, but I want to extend the number of threads and eventually decide in function of the threads available. The basic structure is given below:

I'm trying to make a generic filter for data overviews and I've come across expressions. In that example, some expressions are used to do comparisons:

I'm trying to figure out some Excel automation. I have a form set up so the user can click on a label to open an Excel file (as a background process I guess) so the file isn't actually visible. Once they click on the "Convert to Count" button it will multiply all the values in Column B by 1,250 and put the output in Column C. Once it has finished this action, it makes the file visible so the user can choose to save it or not. Also, some users have Excel 2003 and some have 2007. Would it be possible to be able to load both xls and xlsx?[URL]..I must say I am very new with .NET and have a little bit of knowledge with VB6. I'm not sure where to even begin. I've looked up some ways to load an excel file but couldn't get it to work the way I need it to. Most of the ways I found were loading the file into a DataGridView. I don't want to use a DataGridView if I don't have to. Some of the files the users might be loading could have 10,000+ rows and that would take too long I think.
View 3 RepliesI want to perform two hashing operations concurrently on a single file, without reading the file twice. Is there some way to share the FileStream between two synchronized hashing threads? For example:
Dim Stream As New IO.FileStream("...", IO.FileMode.Open)
Dim HashA, HashB As Byte()
Dim A = New System.Threading.Thread(Sub()
[code]....
Maybe some way of caching a stream? Trouble is, I don't want the entire file in memory at once (it could be many gigabytes in size) and I don't want the file read more than once, due to speed issues. I want the file cached only sufficiently to ensure that both threads can work.For example, suppose at some point in time, thread A had read 100k of the file, but thread B had only read 20k of the file. The portion of the file between 20k and 100k should be cached; but then progressively forgotten as thread B catches up. Then again, if thread B is too slow, we might still end up with hundreds of megabytes being cached.Maybe thread A should be made to wait while thread B catches up. Maybe the ReadByte() function of the stream should block for a while if one of the threads is too far behind?
Basically i am making a software that will be interacting with a database (sql).Now what i wanted is a loop which after every 30 minutes, connects to the database finds some info and executes a bunch of statements.For the sake of testing i have made the timer tick at 1 second, and display a record in a database in a label continuously just to see if it works (i will later make the tick 30 min)Now this is what i have tried till now , it prints the record in database perfectly after 5 seconds, but after that just fails.[code]I want to infinitely make a loop in which after every 30 minutes has passed it would connect to the database get a record and then use the value of that record to perform some operations. And this has to be done in the background.
View 2 RepliesI'm new to VB and Windows programming but I do have a fair amount of experience programming at the command line level. A friend is having problems with his laptop. He does a lot of speaking engagements with Powerpoint. His laptop uses the F7 key to toggle the output to his external monitor port to the video projector. The F7 key has stopped doing this. Is there a way to create a Windows program that will do this without using a DOS window? He is not familiar with command line processing and needs something that he can double-click.

I am trying to make a vb.net program which will perform WMI queries to check for remote computer's name and OS. I manage to do the first query of name using the code below..
[Code]...
I am getting error "Local variable 'query' is already declared in the current block. (BC30288)".I understand that I am using same name for the object variable for performing subsequent query. Is there a way in which I can dispose the variable completely and reuse it again for querying the new required WMI detail? My search in the net couldn't give me any clue as of how to clear the variable and use it again. The issue is with two variables "query" and "searcher". Is it only possible that I should give unique names to each query object variable as I might add more queries later on?
I am attempting to have my program select a file, create DataTables and then perform some other functions. I want to be able to open another file and re-do the same steps.The problem I am having is that I add columns to my Datatables and when I try and to open another file while one is already open I get a message that a column of xyz is already added how do I properly "clear my datatable" or perhaps that isnt even the correct approach? Here is the code I have that Opens a File

I have a few questions about using the Mouse in a VB program
1. How would I get my program to move my mouse to a color thats anywhere on the screen? I want this done by hotkeys.Example: Lets say the hotkey i want to use is ALT+C and the color is white. When I press ALT+C, it will move to white.
2. How would I simulate a mouse click when the mouse is over a certain color? Again, I would like this done with a hotkey.Example: Lets say Hotkey is ALT+D, and the color again, is white. When I press ALT+D,I want my mouse to start clicking whenever its goes above white. I also want to be able to turn this off. I want to be able to set the "click interval"
3. How would I "move my mouse" downward when I press a HotKey and Click?Example: Lets say my hotkey is ALT+V.I press ALT+V. Then whenever I click my mouse, the mouse cursor will "move" a bit down.I want these to work even when my form isnt in focus.

Normally you would move a program around by dragging the bar at the top of the window, agreed? How can you change a form in VB to move around when dragging anywhere on the form apart from a button?

I'm new in VB.net but I'm trying to make application (planning-game). The game is about showing students the planning 'complexity' of a operation room in a hospital. I created a listbox which randomly shows 5 operations. But now I would like a function which makes it possible to add a selected operation to a timetable. The timetable has blocks of 30 mins (example 08:00 - 08:30, 08:30 - 09:00 etc..). This because 1 type operation takes 1 hours and 1 takes 1:30 hours. Now I have given the operations a value by using a label. [code]

So we don't type "Some Text" every time. Do you think does this idea work? Maybe in the future we can see something like that?

I have an application in which I am running a separate thread.
Dim thread As New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf Main)
thread.Start()
However, the thread makes reference to an textbox named Output, and it generates this error upon execution:
System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled
Message="Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'Output' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on."
Source="System.Windows.Forms"
(message shortened for space)
How can I make the operations run on another thread, but still use the Output object? I cannot call a subroutine to do that for me, as it generates the exact same error.
The method called is AppendText, by the way.
